THE NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL (DISS, VARIOUS ROADS)

20 MPH SPEED LIMIT ZONE AND 30 MPH & 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT

CONSOLIDATION AND VARIATION ORDERS 2025

The Norfolk County Council propose to make the following Orders under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984:

The Norfolk County Council (Diss, Various Roads) (20 mph Speed Limit Zone) Consolidation and Variation Order 2025

The effect of this Order will be to:

1. consolidate ‘The Norfolk County Council (Diss, Various Roads) (20 mph Speed Limit Zone) Order 2017’ (“the 2017 Order”), whereby the 20 mph speed limit zone on the existing lengths of road specified in that Order will not be changed; and

2. vary the existing Order by prohibiting any motor vehicle from exceeding 20 miles per hour along the following lengths of road:

   a) B1077 Denmark Street/Shelfanger Road – From a point 46 metres south of its junction with the U79190 Beehive Yard for 218 metres northwards; and

   b) C880 Roydon Road – From its junction with the B1077 Shelfanger Road for 70 metres westwards

3. The reference to the U76272 Church Street in the 2017 Order will be varied from “its junction with the U71669 Market Place eastwards to its junction with the U70012 Chapel Street” to “From its junction with the U71669 Market Place eastwards to its junction with the U70006 Uplands Way”.

The Norfolk County Council (Diss, Various Roads) (30 mph and 40 mph Speed Limit) Consolidation and Variation Order 2025

The effect of this Order will be to:

1. Consolidate ‘The Norfolk County Council (Diss) (30 p.h.m. and 40 p.h.m. Speed Limit) Order 2000 and The Norfolk County Council (Diss and Roydon, Shelfanger Road) (30 p.h.m. Speed Limit) Order 2011’. The existing length of road specified in Schedule 1 (30 mph) and Schedule 2 (40 mph) of the 2000 Order will not be changed apart from the length of the B1077 Shelfanger Road which is no longer being below; and

2. vary the Orders to remove the existing reference to the B1077 Shelfanger Road and insert the following length of road to Schedule 1 to prohibit any motor vehicle from exceeding 30 miles per hour:

   i. B1077 Shelfanger Road – From 80 metres north of its junction with the C880 Roydon Road northwards to a point 250 metres north of the centreline of its junction with the U76013 Louie’s Lane.

   The 30 mph speed limit on the above length of road is a reduction of 76 metres to the existing 30 mph speed limit which requires variation due to the proposed 20 mph speed limit Order above.

   The reference to the following roads in the 2000 Order will also be varied to state:

   a. A1066 – From a point 70 metres west* will be varied to “From a point 70 metres west of its junction with U70023 Denmark Lane eastwards to a point 325 metres east of its junction with U71251 Sawmills Road”.

   ii. U70671 Brewers Green Lane will be varied as follows: “in its entirety with B1132 Burston Road north-westwards for a distance of 220 metres” to “from its junction with B1132 Burston Road north-westwards to its junction with C339 Manor Road, a distance of 780 metres” an increase of 560 metres;

   iii. U70631 Tottington Lane will be varied from “eastwards” to “westwards” to now state “From its junction with U70023 Denmark Lane westwards for distance of 330 metres”;

3. vary the Orders to remove the existing reference to the U76270 Walcot Road and U76273 Walcot Green in Schedule 2 and insert the following lengths of road to Schedule 2 to prohibit any motor vehicle from exceeding 40 miles per hour:

The Orders are proposed to be consolidated for clarity and efficient administration of the restrictions. As part of the consolidation the existing orders are being updated to reflect current legislation, or are being clarified to make them clearer, or are being amended to correct minor errors. The reference of ‘vehicles’ is being updated to ‘motor vehicles’ to reflect current legislation.
